Re: Koni Yellows with 15s
Are you talking factory 15" wheel? If so you have zero problems. If aftermarket wheel they you are correct about backspacing. You will need to make sure the wheel does not sit too far back, otherwise you will have a problem. Although that is nothing a small wheel spacer/adapter couldn't fix.

Thanks I havent got any of the front end on atm, just figuring out how to get the right bits I want (struts, spindles, hubs, brakes etc) to work all together without clashing... would be so much easier if I had taken bits off the car as I replaced them... well learning this lesson the hard way

Re: Koni Yellows with 15s
Do you have any idea what brakes you are going to run? If you are going to run the 4th gen brakes, you should have zero issues with your new rims fitting and not rubbing the strut. Once you get your hub and rotor bolted on it actually pushes the wheel out around .5" or so. The spindle will be the factory one and will not cause any problems.
I am not certain on any of the other brake setups, since I only did the research on the one I was installing.

Re: Koni Yellows with 15s
At the moment I have an idea, but no clue how they affect the wheel, i'll have to look into that.. i'll look at the 4th gen brakes now as well.
